Amazing Spider-Man II gets it right....well....sort of.

Paul Giammati as rhino?! Are you ****ing kidding me?! What, was Zack Ghalafanakis not available?!??

 

I thought they fired Webb and had a new director?

Yeah, they should find a guy that's 6'5" and 710 pounds of all muscle.

 

...Could have been worse.

 

Must be in motion capture as in Gollum or Caesar

 

John Goodman it is.

 

People are really underestimating Foxx's acting skills. He can pull off Electro, IMO.

 

Pagan's mad cause their making Electro black. Pagan is a traditionalist. Change is scary for him.

 

Of course not. But Paul ****ing Giamanti ?!?!?

 

FTR Electro is awesome, I know Foxx will nail it.

 

Hey, remember when no one could understand why Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker?

 

I trust Chris Nolan more than Webb.

 

So do I. Point remains.

Besides, with the exceptions of one Hulk movie and Spider-Man 3, has there been a truly bad or unwatchable modern Marvel movie?

 

Ghost rider
Ghost Rider II
Fantastic 4
Electra
Daredevil

Anything by Fox

 

Maybe they're trying to grab the comedy market??????

 

I wouldn't say any of those are bad or unwatchable. Ghost Rider 2 comes closest, but Nicolas Cage. Mediocrity is mediocrity.

 

Electra & Ghost Rider II were both "truly bad".

Elektra

 

I disagree. Elektra is in my top 5 most hated movies of all time.

 

About the thread I think both are great casting.

Jamie Foxx could be an amazingly fun Electro.

Paul Giamanti coudl be really good as a weak guy who became tough. Still that would make him a better Scorpion than Rhino, however since Amazing Spider-Man doesn't even care about getting Peter Parker close to right, then why not change a villian to suit their needs?

 

X-Men 3, X-Men: Wolverine Origins....

 

Better Rhino?


Patton Oswalt

 

Not sure why Jamie Foxx and Paul Giamanti are getting hate. Both are very good actors. Why not just give the studio the benefit of a doubt right now until we see the final product.

Remember when everyone went nuts because of the picture of Peter Parker holding a skateboard because we're getting twlight emo Peter? Or that Tom Hardy wasn't big enough to play Bane?

Let's just see how this plays out.

 

Freddy Got Fingered is truly bad. Jaws: The Revenge is truly bad. Bio-Dome is truly bad. And the range of crappy parody movies--Scary Movie, Epic Movie, etc--are nothing short of Godawful.

 

The first two scary movies are funny.

 

Scary Movie is about 10x better than Elektra

 

agreed, he would make a nice scorpion, but Giamatti is such a good actor, he'll pull of the rhino.

 

Some casting decisions don't seem to make a lot of sense at first but those actors end up nailing the role. And sometimes the obvious choices for parts end up back firing. So can we at least see him as Rhino first before we all go nuts over it? Maybe Webb is taking the character in a different direction, maybe he's going to be half CGI, who knows right now. The movie hasn't even started filming yet.

Maybe it's just me but I'd rather have a good actor who may not look or fit the part to a tee than an actor that fits the character description but ends up giving us a lesser performance. Would you have rather had someone like The Rock as Bane instead of Tom Hardy for example?

 

Kevin Nash?

 

I'm not missing the point, it doesn't have to be one or the other but I just don't see the need to get upset over it when we don't even know what the movie or character is about.

And who cares if you cast someone that hasn't been a bad guy before or an actor that's only done 1 type of movie whether it's only comedy, drama, action etc. Heath Ledger was known as either "the gay cowboy" or "the teenage who sang to a girl on a football field in that teen comedy movie" before he was cast as The Joker. He never played a bad guy before ever and he ended up giving us one of the greatest villain movie roles ever. Hugh Jackman never played a superhero before Wolverine, instead his credits were mostly in musicals. Did you jump all over Nolan for casting Austin Powers' dad as Alfred? I could go on and on.

All I'm saying is why not just giving the casting the benefit of the doubt for now until we see footage of the character from the movie first? You're already judging a movie that hasn't even started filming yet.

PG wouldn't be my first choice as Rhino either but the guy is a good actor so I'm going to pass judgment before seeing the final product.

 

I never saw Elektra or Daredevil, but I will stick up for Fantastic 4. While it monkeyed with the mythology way too much (and basically ruined Dr. Doom forever) it was a fun, light superhero film. And Rise of the Silver Surfer was actually good.

I think it's getting re-booted by Marvel Studios as the exclusivity window lapsed and I look forward to a more traditional version, but they weren't terrible.

 

Sorry Paggy, Paul Giamatti is a damn terrific actor. In no way does he play the same character in every movie he does. That guy has range.

John Adams
Planet of the Apes
Sideways
Illusionist
Saving Private Ryan
Cinderella Man

Really, all those characters were played the same? Don't get me wrong, I'm not excited to hear him cast as Rhino, but I'm willing to see some pics of him in the role before I shake my head too much about it.

Hugh Jackman looks a little like Wolverine. He is also much too tall. In fact Wolverine being short is a decent part of his character.

 

Good villian in Shoot'em Up
